Can Newspapers Survive?

With the newspaper industry struggling mightily due to increased opportunities gained by the Internet, how much longer will they be able to last? Paper subscriptions are down significantly and companies like the Tribune Co. have had to file for bankruptcy protection and sell off assets to keep their papers alive. Personally, I enjoy both forms of viewing the news. Being online allows for more information access through multiple sources, but sometimes it can become too encompassing and take up a lot of time. At this point though it looks as if news in paper form will not be around much longer especially during economic downturns causing decreased revenue from advertising.
